Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
9>9 Personal answerPro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions |
Social › Gay Marriage
9>9 Personal answerYes, though any ordained individual that does not agree with same sex marriage may politely decline to perform the service, and all parties shall respectfully part ways. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
9>9 Personal answerDon't gender a position. If a person can prove either through experience, education, or a combination of both that they can perform the required duties, that person should be compensated properly. Also, all posted positions should be required to have the budgeted salary published. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerGuns are like sex and drugs in that people will find a way to get them if they want them bad enough. No one needs an arsenal, but what about historical collectors? Guns shouldn't be freely available but imposing strong restrictions doesn't treat the mindset of why people want guns. Make them like cars at a minimum. Insurance, annual registration, training, licensing. Analyze risk factors not only for the individual, but those that might have access to the weapon. Including methods of storage and transport. And clarify that the Second Amendment wording of "well-regulated militia" refers to what we already have: the National Guard. Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry who thinks that just because he can hit the target consistently makes his honky-ass any part of a militia. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerYes, and adjust it every year according to inflation |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
9>9 Personal answerNo, there's zero reason weapons should be on the property of any institution of knowledge. If protection is deemed necessary, professionally trained guards should be covert, including those patrolling outside the property. |
the Environment › Climate Change
9>9 Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
9>9 Personal answerYes, but funding depends on company size. Large companies fund it themselves, small companies get government funding. |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerLower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
9>9 Personal answerYes, we cannot end racism until we acknowledge that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist |
Education › Student Loans
9>9 Personal answerYes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education |
Education › Free College for All
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid
9>9 Personal answerYes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
9>9 Personal answerNo, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes, if they pay taxes |
Elections › Voter Fraud
9>9 Personal answerNo, and automatically register every citizen to vote when they turn 18 |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
9>9 Personal answerEliminate loopholes while incentivizing keeping headquarters and jobs in the US as well as for environmentally friendly practices. |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
9>9 Personal answerNo, I support vaccination but I also support the individual right to freedom of choice. Which includes if a business requires vaccinations or not. |
the Economy › Government Spending
9>9 Personal answerReduce military spending, tax the rich, reduce and cap the salaries and benefits of government officials at all levels. |
Immigration › Border Wall
9>9 Personal answerNo, this would be too costly and ineffective |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerYes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
9>9 Personal answerNo, unless it's negligence in the manufacturing of the product and/or malicious/misleading advertising. It would be like suing car manufacturers for vehicular homicide; the individual happened to use that method to carry out the act, whether intentionally or not. The issue runs much deeper than the manufacturer. |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Corporate Mega Mergers
9>9 Personal answerYes. And this should include companies that are "umbrella corporations" like de Beers. |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
9>9 Personal answerYes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing |
the Economy › Welfare
9>9 Personal answerFewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
9>9 Personal answerNo, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment |
the Economy › Free Tax Filing
9>9 Personal answerYes, and the IRS should be funded with enough resources to do our taxes for us. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
9>9 Personal answerHelp, but ban their ability to make political donations |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
9>9 Personal answerInvest in infrastructure and basic universal income, tax breaks for lower incomes (under $100k salaries) and smaller companies, assist heavily hit sectors. A recession means the country needs to practice self care, and that means everyone that can give, should. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only for hard drugs (heroine, meth, cocaine) and provide free treatment if they treat positive. |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
9>9 Personal answerYes, and increase to the average U.S. tax rate (31.5%) |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
9>9 Personal answerYes, and they should also be eligible for financial assistance and scholarships |
Healthcare › Obamacare
9>9 Personal answerYes, but a mandatory single payer system would be even better |

9>9 Personal answerYes, and switch to a ranked voting system |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
9>9 Personal answerYes, and all employees should be paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours regardless of their pay scale |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
9>9 Personal answerDecrease |
Science › Nuclear Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives |
Science › GMO Labels
9>9 Personal answerYes, I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don’t trust the motives of the food companies selling them |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerYes, and create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine |
Transportation › Public Transportation
9>9 Personal answerYes, and provide more free public transportation |
the Economy › Estate Tax
9>9 Personal answerScale the tax rate according to the combined value of the estate size and the individual receiving the estate, and start the threshold at $1 million. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, every citizen deserves the right to vote |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
9>9 Personal answerYes, but still not as a stand-alone decision. Require majority rule and/or sign-off from those well-versed in tactical warfare, information gathering, and public communications that have high level security clearance. It needs to be the right decision, executed carefully and as discreetly as possible. |
the Economy › Four-day Workweek
9>9 Personal answerYes. Technological advancement was done in the name of reducing time at work and increasing time for leisure and enjoyment. We have not kept that promise to ourselves. We shouldn't be required to hustle just to live. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
9>9 Personal answerYes, just like U.S. citizens, terrorists should be given a fair trial in federal courts |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
9>9 Personal answerHold them accountable for their actions. |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they have committed an attack against our country |
the Economy › Domestic Jobs
9>9 Personal answerNo, but drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses |
the Economy › China Tariffs
9>9 Personal answerWe can't afford to have conflicts with the country that holds most of our debt and provides us with a majority of our goods. Make a mandatory minimum of import to export based on how much the US imports from China. |
the Economy › NAFTA
9>9 Personal answerYes, NAFTA helps lower the prices of consumer products |
the Economy › Gas Tax
9>9 Personal answerWe can't squeeze blood from a turnip, but we also can't afford not to fund the energy sector. Reduce the tax but reallocate funds to invest in renewable energy. Gas will eventually become more expensive, as its a non-renewable resource. |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
9>9 Personal answerNo, and neither should corporations and business organizations |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
9>9 Personal answerIt absolutely should be audited by a neutral and trusted third party in tandem with governmental audits. |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerYes, but scaled based on farm size (smaller farms get more help, incentives provided at all levels) to ensure fair competition with annual evaluations. |
the Economy › Tariffs
9>9 Personal answerOnly if the company cannot prove that they did not attempt to utilize local companies to support American factory workers. Also provide subsidies to those manufacturers to reduce costs and provide competitive pricing and reduce the need to import. |
the Economy › Property Taxes
9>9 Personal answerTax based on the lot size at a reasonable value, and offset with an increase in sales tax. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
9>9 Personal answerBring back pensions and make them (as well as Social Security) untouchable for spending on anyone other than the retired. So many people have depended on (and some will someday depend on) having that money to support them into retirement, which is only becoming longer with advancements in modern medicine. |
the Economy › Government Pensions
9>9 Personal answerYes for low income workers and adjusted annually for cost of living. |
the Economy › State Ownership
9>9 Personal answerYes, but any profits from the original purchase should be disbursed to taxpayers (adjusted for inflation) and any losses should be compensated by the company. |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
9>9 Personal answerWe want to maintain positive partnership, so long as we don't outsource jobs. |
the Economy › Online Sales Tax
9>9 Personal answerIt comes down to where the money is declared, which is the seller's state of residence. Requiring distribution of taxes paid to other states could reduce collaboration between states. We don't tariff between states. Instead, change the tax rates of all states and cities to one flat rate so competition between local and non local shops is a little more fair. Also, it's stupid to have multiple tax rates within one state, much less within one country. |
the Economy › Gig Workers
9>9 Personal answerYes. Those companies sign their paychecks, they are not contracted out by another company. Increase this coverage to sex workers, as well. |
the Economy › Decentralized Finance
9>9 Personal answerYes, only for true decentralization, cannot be manipulated in any way, and has insurance by the FDIC. |
the Economy › Cryptocurrency
9>9 Personal answerCryptocurrency is wildly unstable and unregulated. It behaves more like the stock market than actual currency. However, with proper regulation and proven stability, it could create a universal currency at some point and could lift third world countries out of poverty. Classification should only occur as an agreement between multiple countries. |
